Obviously I support the retention of manufacturing at Castle Bromwich and Lode Lane. Birmingham City Council will maintain its policy of wanting manufacturing at those locations and I am certain (although I have not discussed it with the leaders of Solihull as yet) that they will take the same view.

The issue of the future of these plants (and businesses) is of major importance to the West Midlands and I have already made it clear that I will work closely with management and unions to ensure that it continues.
